During the interviews, Pelosi took shots at several prominent members of her own party including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. She mocks Ocasio-Cortez specifically for her youth and apparent ignorance, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/pelosi-book-aoc-squad-susan-page-36282731-a49d-4d3d-9373-a2002cc9c4ed.html\">Axios<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"9\">\n<p><em>Pelosi unloads on the Squad, at one point adopting a child-like voice when discussing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and offers the Squad this blunt advice: \u201cYou\u2019re not a one-person show. This is the Congress of the United States.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>During another part in her series of interviews with Page, Pelosi blames former President Barack Obama over problems whipping votes in favor of the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, from lawmakers representing Obama\u2019s home state of Illinois.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy are we having a problem with Illinois?\u201d Pelosi asked. She also said that Obama does not deserve sole credit for getting legislation through Congress under his administration.<\/p>\n<p>Pelosi and members of the Squad have shared a tense relationship at times, especially after the Squad\u2019s members first joined Congress following the 2018 election. Ocasio-Cortez began clashing with the speaker before even being formally seated as a representative from New York. Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s first appearance in Washington, D.C., was at an anti-Pelosi protest. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/uh-oh-alexandria-ocasio-cortezs-first-appearance-emily-zanotti\">The Daily Wire<\/a> reported at the time:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"24\">\n<p><em>Ocasio-Cortez joined a group of young activists called the \u201cSunrise Movement\u201d in staging a sit-in protest outside the Capitol Hill office of Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), the House Minority Leader and, come January, the likely Speaker of the House \u2014 and Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s new boss.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Ocasio-Cortez addressed the protesters, who were holding signs asking for a \u201cGreen New Deal\u201d from Democrats in charge, and demanding \u201cGreen Jobs for All,\u201d shook hands, and gave high-fives to the 50 or so protesters who blocked the entrance to Pelosi\u2019s office.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The event marked Ocasio-Cortez\u2019s first visit to the soon-to-be Speaker\u2019s office, and leftists were pretty miffed that she introduced herself to her Democratic colleagues not by embracing inter-party collegiality, but by openly disagreeing with her party\u2019s long-time leadership.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Pelosi has taken time to wrangle AOC and her rogue colleagues, and all members of the Squad <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/full-squad-including-two-newest-members-vote-pelosi-for-speaker\">voted<\/a> to re-elect Pelosi as speaker of the House in January. Ocasio-Cortez decided to back Pelosi despite calling on progressives to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/full-squad-including-two-newest-members-vote-pelosi-for-speaker\">formulate<\/a> a plan to oust the aging speaker and her Senate counterpart, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), several weeks prior to the vote for Pelosi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do think that we need new leadership in the Democratic Party,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez said during a December interview with The Intercept. She complained about the lack of leadership \u201cgrooming\u201d going on among House Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhenever there is a challenge, it kind of collapses, and that, I think, is the result of just many years of power being concentrated in leadership with lack of real grooming of next generation of leader,\u201d Ocasio-Cortez said.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
